Delicious and beautiful cake!
We ordered a two tier cake + a sheet cake for our wedding. The cake was delicious and everyone who tried it, loved it. For the two tier cake, I requested plain white and it was PERFECT. I wasn't expecting much, but was so in love with how it turned out. They offered a cake tasting box so we were able to taste each of the flavor options which was so helpful in picking our cake flavor. The booking process was easy and they delivered it to our venue on the day of. It was a simple process and was very happy with everythingWe ordered a two tier cake + a sheet cake for our wedding.

Last minute change
We initial planned to use a different bakery from our area, but found out last minute that they couldn’t do our cake when we needed it, so we took a trip down to Monterey a couple of weeks before our wedding to find someone local to make our cake. We tried a few bakeries then found Layers. While we were there, they walked us through our options and we bought a piece of cake to try and immediately ordered our cake from them. We went with a 9 in cake and had plenty of leftovers for us to all have another piece the next night.We initial planned to use a different bakery from our area, but found out last minute that they couldn’t do our cake when we needed it, so we took a trip down to Monterey a couple of weeks before our wedding to find someone local to make our cake.

Beautiful, delicious and easy to work with
Loved working with Hilary - she had great communication and made ordering our cake a breeze!
We did pick up wedding cake samples before submitting our order, and we appreciated that cost of the tasting was deducted from our overall cake cost.
Most importantly, the cake was DELICIOUS! So much so that our friends argued over who could take the left over cake the next morning at breakfast LOL.
We ordered both red velvet and carrot cake for reference. Carrot cake is my favorite - but it can be very hit or miss. Layer's carrot cake was an absolute HITLoved working with Hilary - she had great communication and made ordering our cake a breeze!

Above and Beyond!
Hilary was amazing to work with. She was patient with me when I kept giving her the wrong card for her payments [on accident ]. One of the hardest parts for my wedding was figuring out where to put my cake. My wedding site wouldn't keep my cake due to liability concerns. She personally got in contact with my wedding site to make sure they would keep my cake!Hilary was amazing to work with.

Delicious Cake
I chose Layers to do my wedding cake and could not be happier! Hilary and Hazel were so amazing to work with. They were very responsive and made the whole process super easy!
We chose the carrot cake and our guests loved it! We also got chocolate cupcakes for our more picky guests and those were a hit as well.
Our cake was amazing and delicious. So delicious, that we couldn't bring ourselves to save the top in the freezer for our one year anniversary!

Layers was wonderful to work with! They were able to accommodate three different flavors for our cake and beautifully replicated the unique design we found online. Delivery was on time and all staff were professional and communicative. I would highly recommend that anyone in the Monterey area use layers for their cake!Layers was wonderful to work with!

Our cake (white cake with raspberry filling, French Buttercream frosting) not only looked beautiful, but it was the most delicious cake I have ever had.We loved our wedding cake!

I knew when I decided I was having a wedding cake that it had to be from Layers because their cakes are just the best. Initially when I contacted them, they said they couldn’t do it the week before christmas because they were so busy, but Hilary talked to the chef and some kind of magic happened because they agreed to do it. I got my gorgeous spooned French butter cream Princess cake (with gorgeously arranged flowers) delivered to my venue the morning of my wedding and it was as delicious as ever! My husband and I ate the top tier for christmas! Thank you so much!I knew when I decided I was having a wedding cake that it had to be from Layers because their cakes are just the best.

Oh my freaking god, I can’t say enough about this bakery! My wedding was in September, and we asked Layer’s for a two tiered cake for a small wedding. We did the lemon butter cake for the largest layer, and ended up saving the blueberry cream cake topper (we ordered more than we needed to, just because we wanted the look of a two tiered cake).
Both cakes were easily the best wedding cake I’ve eaten. I preferred the lemon but they were both incredible. The cake was not only delicious, but it was also beautiful.
Hazel and Hillary were so helpful and easy to work with! They answered a lot of my questions and were generally just great.
I definitely recommend Layers! They won’t disappoint.Oh my freaking god, I can’t say enough about this bakery!

Holy cow, the cake Hilary at Layers made for our wedding. It was SO INCREDIBLE. I mean, just amazing. My husband is a designer and made a 3 page design document to describe how we wanted the cake to work. They were very happy to work with this, offering very good advice on how to balance what we wanted for taste (buttercream was a must, fondant tastes awful no matter who makes it) in order to achieve the look and taste we were looking at. Hilary did a spectacular job. Not only did the cake look amazing, it was literally some of the best cake I have ever eaten in my entire life. And I assure you, none of the other cakes on the short list of My Best Cakes were wedding cakes, which in my anecdotal experience, usually tastes not that great. NOT this cake, it was FANTASTIC both inside and out. I've seen the negative reviews here but I have to say that this was not my experience at all. Communication was professional, prompt, and thorough. The result was fantastic looking, fantastically delicious, promptly delivered and very reasonably priced.Holy cow, the cake Hilary at Layers made for our wedding. It was SO INCREDIBLE.

Get your wedding cake here!! It's delicious, and the works of art that you get are worth every cent. My husband and I got a gorgeous 2-tier cake from them, and absolutely loved it. We not only got to choose flavors, but also colors and the ingredients for the decorations. I was not expecting to be able to customize our cake in such detail! And their cake designs are so fresh and original. I'd go with them again in a heartbeat.Get your wedding cake here!! It's delicious, and the works of art that you get are worth every cent.

Layers Sensational Cakes is awesome and we would highly recommend them! Our tasting was so fun and their cakes are delicious, we had no trouble picking them for our wedding cake and cupcakes. Their prices are reasonable and they didn't charge a delivery fee on Saturday! Amazing!
We did a mixture of wedding cake and cupcakes to give our guests some variety, and it worked out so well. We would definitely work with layers again!Layers Sensational Cakes is awesome and we would highly recommend them!
